Jacqueline Oshiver

Jacqueline Oshiver is a licensed psychotherapist who uses Mindfulness Therapy alongside client-centered care to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and addiction. She holds the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker credentials and brings a long history of practice to her work. Her style emphasizes presence, attention to what matters, and a calm, steady space to think and feel.

Jacqueline keeps sessions focused on the everyday problems that make life hard. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, learn simple skills to manage strong emotions, and practice mindful ways to respond rather than react. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, emotion-focused work, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic thinking where helpful.

With four decades of clinical experience, she weaves practical methods and life experience into therapy. Jacqueline uses imagery and mind-body practices when they fit a person's needs, and she pays attention to couple and family dynamics when relevant to a client's goals. She aims to restore a sense of balance and forward movement in daily life.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in New Jersey. Jacqueline frames therapy as a collaborative process: she listens, helps clarify goals, and suggests ways to build coping skills that fit a person's routines. Her work is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's story.

How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online work

Jacqueline often draws on Mindfulness Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and bodily sensations in the moment to reduce reactivity and build calm. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person so they feel understood and can find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of behaving to improve mood and coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work with each person to identify goals, try a few methods, and adjust the focus based on what helps most. She aims to match strategies to a person's needs, pace, and preferences rather than insisting on one method.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find that mindfulness exercises, skill practice from CBT, and focused conversations translate well to remote sessions when scheduled with a clear plan for each meeting.
